COMPROMISO MUSCULAR POR LINFOMA NO HODGKIN: CASO CLÍNICO Y REVISIÓN DEL TEMA

A case report of a patient with treated Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma is presented. In his usual tomographic control patient was requested a PET-CT scan to supplement prior study that showed a metabo- lically active focus on the left adductor muscle without evident tomographic correlation. Lesion underwent both a soft tissue ultrasound study and a directed biopsy, the latter being positive for secondary infiltra - tion by lymphoma. This case has demonstrated the usefulness of applying complementary techniques in the management of these lesions, mainly of PET-CT scans in the study of unusual sites of spread. This combined medical imaging technique allows accurate lesion localization, which in turn permits performance of a subsequent directed study.
